For example, doctors use hirudin, a substance discovered in the saliva of leeches, to dissolve dangerous blood clots.
By conjugating this tetrapeptide or variants thereof to a C-terminal fragment of hirudin, we were able to generate a series of new multivalent inhibitors of thrombin containing only genetically encodable natural amino acids.

Many experiments show that hirudin acts by inhibiting the blood protein thrombin. Thrombin is responsible for converting fibrinogen into fibrin blood clots.
